Where Islam spreads, freedom dies

François Hollande has fallen to 26% of favourable opinions, establishing a record unpopularity for a president of the 5th Republic, in the history of BVA polls.

"In this month of October 2013, François Hollande falls by 6 points, to 26% of favourable opinions (against 73% of unfavourable) breaching the mythical threshold of 30% and at the same time smashing the historical record of unpopularity for a president of the Republic," underlined BVA, on Monday 28 October. The BVA polls began more than 30 years ago.

"In 32 years of polls, a president has never fallen below 30% of favourable opinions," adds Gaël Sliman, general deputy director of the institute.

...On the other hand, Marine Le Pen has achieved a new record of popularity with a 30% influence rating in October, an increase of 4 points. "The Front National is also surging, gaining 4 points to reach 28% of favourable opinions, which now puts them equal with the Socialists [Hollande's party], who now fall 5 points to 28%," adds BVA, specifying that the Socialist Party is experiencing recording unpopularity.
